CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECYCLING GRANT
AGREEMENT WITH SCOTT COUNTY FOR 2001
SPRING CLEAN-UP DAY, APRIL 28,2001
DISCUSSION:
History
For the past 12 years, the City of Prior Lake has organized
and sponsored a clean-up/recycling day. This program has
allowed residents of Prior Lake to recycle or dispose of many
recyclable materials, such as: old batteries, appliances, tires,
scrap metal, brush, and yard waste. This year's Clean-up
Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 28, 2001 at the Prior
Lake High School from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
Current Circumstances
The program is self-supporting, as it is funded through user
fees and a grant from Scott County. This year the County
has set aside a grant of up to $5,160.00 for the City of Prior
Lake to host a recycling/clean-up day. Credit River
Township and Spring Lake Township have requested to be
part of our clean-up day. By allowing their residents to
participate, the City of Prior Lake will receive an additional
$2,658.00 from Scott County to offset the cost of adding
their residents. With Credit River and Spring Lake
Township's contribution, Prior Lake's total grant funding
will be $7,818.00.
The Issues
In order to secure these funds, the City must enter into an
agreement with Scott County expressing an interest in the
funding.

ALTERNATIVES:
In February, a grant application was submitted to the Scott
County Environmental Health Department requesting grant-
funded assistance for this year's recycling/clean-up day.
This grant was pursued for the purpose of having a
mechanism for funding, in the event that the City Council
approves a recycling/clean-up day for 2001 as it has done for
the past 11 years. The user fees and grant funding offset the
expenses of the event, so there is no budgetary impact on the
City.
Conclusion
This is a very popular program that residents look forward to
each year. This year's recycling/clean-up day will be held on
Saturday, April 28 from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. The event
will once again take place in the parking lot of the Prior Lake
Senior High School. The recycling/clean-up day has been
moved to the spring to coincide with the Adopt-A-Park,
Adopt-A-Highway, Bridging and Earth Day events.
This year's recycling/clean-up day will also include the
"Bridging" program jointly sponsored by the Prior Lake
Lions and Rotary. The Bridging program is designed to
provide needy families with usable furniture and various
other household goods.

agreement with Scott County.
2. Schedule Fall Clean-up Day for Saturday, April 28,
2001
3. Approve 1 and 2 above as part of the consent agenda.
